Tell The Story

We are committed to protecting and sharing the story of our proud Massey Hill history. We’ve created the Friends of Massey Hill Endowment Fund and the Massey Hill Heritage Preservation Project – our own 501(c)(3) to provide funding for major projects to improve our community now and forever.

  • Over the past several years we completed the installation of commissioned public art in the roundabout in front of Carroll Memorial Baptist Church where 10,000 cars a day and share in our proud history.
  • We added additional signage and lighting to the informational sign, replaced the school bell at Massey Hill High School and installed a granite bench to complement the paver pad area.
  • Wayfinding signage has been installed at each of the entrances to the three textile mills and to the Southern Avenue entrance to Massey Hill from downtown.
  • A Mill House Museum was relocated and restored at the Camden Road Rec Center.
  • The Puritan Mill water tower on Southern Avenue was repaired, repainted with the Massey Hill name, and now stands tall proudly promoting our community.
  • Over the last year, we replaced one of iconic cypress trees in front of the school.
  • Our most current project is our support of Massey Hill Classical High School’s 100th Year Celebration of the school being built in 1925. With our outreach and promotion, over 400 people attended the event in October,

But our plans don’t stop there.

We continue to work with Massey Hill Classical High to fund the construction of a permanent display in the main corridor of the school to display plaques honoring Massey Hill’s Hall of Fame honorees. We are raising funds to build the wall, produce the plaques for this year’s inductees and also set aside funds for future years’ inductees as well.

We need your help to be successful. Each of us has been blessed to have been products of Massey Hill, and each of us can help ensure that the memories of this special place and those special times can be made available for future generations.
